Hi,
I have a servlet that prints a page that refreshes itself. When I set my
browser not to accept cookies, in order to manage session with URL
rewriting, I have two different behaviors depending on the refresh method
used.
If I use javascript to refresh the page, the page refresh itself without
problem.
If I use a header, with the following code:
buf.append("<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"");
buf.append(user.calcRefreshRate());
buf.append("; URL=");
buf.append(response.encodeURL(url.toString()));
buf.append("\">");
then when the page refreshes itself, the tomcat proposes a new session ID.
Can someone explain this "feature"?
I'm still using tomcat 3.2B8.
